Mini Red Bean Buns 迷你红豆面包

When my daughter invited her best friends to our Mid-Autumn festival BBQ Party, her friends were so sweet, even gave me a baking cookbook as a gift. The title of the book is 星期天的烘培时光by 郑荣仙.(a famous Korean cookbook writer). There are many simple and nice baking recipes from this book, the first recipe i tried was this mini red bean buns..

The taste of this bun is not overwhelming, just a plain and simple bun, nice to have it with a cup of coffee..

How thoughtful of young girls nowadays! Oh, I would love to make this mini red bean buns one day. Must be yum yum and good for afternoon tea break for me. (I don't care much about lunch but more on afternoon tea!) Have a wonderful weekend Sonia!

At first I thought the buns got red bean filling. Then I realised that it has red beans all over the buns. Very nice! First time I see this type of buns. And your photos very canggih, got sharp got blur hee..hee..
